Chris Bisson came through in a big way, as his pinch-hit, two-run triple with two outs in the eighth inning led the Missions to a 5-3 victory over Springfield on Saturday night before 5,738 at Wolff Stadium.

“When it was 3-3, I knew I would probably be used,” Bisson said. “I started going to the cage and getting in a lot of swings. I wanted to be ready. You know if you do your job everyone's going to go crazy.”

There was reason to go crazy. Clutch hits have been hard to come by for the Missions, who scored just three runs in their previous three-game series with Tulsa. On Saturday, Jeudy Valdez broke the ice in the sixth when his two-run homer gave the Missions a 3-2 lead.
